I have an Mac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) and an iMac (Retina 5k, 27-inch,
2017). Can I connect them and have dual monitors?
If so what cords/adapters do I need.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.14
You can try Screen Sharing or a VNC over your local network, but it's slow and not the same thing as having an external connected display. see > https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/share-the-screen-of-another-mac-mh14066/mac
No because they do not support Target Display Mode.
No, you are best served by buying a external display. Your question is asked all the time, particularly now as more and more are working from home and looking for a solution. The cabling alone to connect them (if it was possible) would be at least $60-80, use that money towards buying an external display which you can get for about $100-150 for a decent one.
Ugh. This is so frustrating! I didn't realize the TDM was no longer available. The vcn & screen sharing just isn't the same as using an extended screen... Is there no work-around? It seems pretty silly that there's no hack to get around this since TDM was removed
So is there a way to go around this without target display mode?
Target Display Mode was discontinued almost 6 years ago.
